Explanation

When we start to notice the first symptoms of sleepiness or fatigue at the wheel, which may show as constant shifting in the seat, stretching or yawning, we should look for a suitable place to park, such as a lay-by or a service area, and rest for as long as necessary. We will never stop on the central reservation or on the hard shoulder.
